Rouhani urges Pakistan to act quickly against terrorists in its soil

Nine Iranian border guards were martyred by terrorists in Mirjaveh region, in southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan on April 26, while patrolling at the zero border point. The terrorists fled to Pakistan’s territories after killing the Iranian border guards in an ambush.

Two more border guards were also injured in the terrorist act.

Mirjaveh is located 75 km east of the provincial capital city of Zahedan.

President Rouhani condoled with the bereaved families of the nine martyred border guards in a statement on Thursday and wished quick recovery for the two injured.

The President also ordered the Supreme National Security Council and the Foreign Ministry to pursue the case in order to prevent repetition of similar ruthless actions.
